Are you searching for safe foods for your nut allergic child? Whether you are hunting for nut free baby food, biscuits or birthday cake … looking for safe ingredients to cook from scratch or for ready meal brands you can trust … find suggestions here, in the Nutmums.com nut free food directory!

Below is an A-Z list of food manufacturers, which includes both:

• Dedicated “nut free” food brands; and
• Details of other food manufacturers which, according to their product labels or information on their website, do produce some nut free products.

Manufacturers do change their recipes (and their production arrangements), so please do check the product label for yourself each time, and make your own enquiries of the manufacturer, if you are in any doubt about whether something is safe.

I will add to the list as I come across more nut free brands and products … and do let me know if you have any product recommendations!

If you prefer to browse by the type of food, please see the following pages:

• Baby and toddler foods
• Biscuits, cakes and crisps
• Bread, cereals and pasta
• Butter, spreads and jams
• Chocolate, sweets, ice cream and lollies
• Meals and hot foods
